White House posts video of immigrants in shackles, calls deportation footage 'ASMR' President Donald Trump has made the crackdown on undocumented immigrants living in the United States a priority for his second term in the White House.

Itโ€™s sadistic at this point. Thereโ€™s no way around it. Implying that Americans can find pleasure in watching people be deported in shackles is next level crueltyโ€ฆ

This is what I find so unsettling: waiting until it mounts to a more extreme level is when itโ€™s going to be too late. We should be responding to any little hint of #fascism as it arises. As time passes, more power will be accrued and the worst-case scenario will only become more likelyโ€ฆ

โ€œThe professors are the enemy,โ€ according to them. Of course they are. Education broadly is the enemy when you seek unmitigated powerโ€ฆ

Trump Just Revoked Anti-Discrimination Rules Enacted By LBJ In 1965 The new president just unwound a landmark anti-discrimination measure implemented amid the height of the Civil Rights Movement.

So, just to be clear, one of his PRIORITIES this time around was to roll back decades-long protections against discrimination on the basis of sex, race, nationality, religion, and sexual orientationโ€ฆ

Musk's straight-arm gesture embraced by right-wing extremists regardless of what he meant Many social media users noticed that the gesture looked like a Nazi salute. Musk has only fanned the flames of suspicion by not explicitly denying those claims.

Whether or not it was intentional is sort of beside the point. If I were to make a gesture like this "by accident" in the classroom, I would still be held accountable. In part because I'm white, in part because I'm in a position of authority. Musk should know better. We should all know better...
